Unless you pirate games, PS2, and WII games too with emulators.
I don't do this, but obviously, that will skew the favor. But ofcourse the xbox and wii are easy to pirate too, but a bigger pain.

PC gaming is more expensive, however your numbers are skewed. I mean I've spent probably around 2200 dollars on PC's built 2 computers over that span. I gave the old one to my brother and he can play basically every game witcher 2, etc, at low-medium settings 1080p which still and has looked better than current gen consoles since forever.

My current system can run crysis, hitman, witcher 2 on a tweak between highest and second highest. Plus since I do Solidworks CAD engineering I'd have to have it anyways... but obviously not everyone does solidworks.

Anyone that buys 2 680 gtx's has money where money isn't that big of a deal for them. The 660 ti will probably be more powerful, than all next gen consoles, just like the 8800 gt was when it came out. I'd say face value PC gaming is double the cost of consoles.

But at the same token, you'd probably buy a computer anyways which is 500-600 dollars. If you add 500-600 slightly more than a console, you get a machine that blows away current consoles. However power consumption can cost more.


Obviously if you must have MAX anti-aliasing, MAX on games that can't really be run efficiently yet, etc, it'll cost you fortune. And your stats are correct.

But, I still own all 3 consoles too :P.
